A large share of Tempe housing has been rented for decades, often to students. Tired landlords with worn-out interiors are the sellers we hear from most here, and we buy occupied.
We buy throughout Tempe, including downtown Tempe, the ASU area, south Tempe and the Warner corridor. These are the zip codes we cover here:
If your zip is not on that list but the property is in or near Tempe, call us anyway — the answer is usually still yes.
Tempe is a landlord market. A great deal of the stock in 85281 and 85282 has been rented to students for twenty or thirty years, which shows in the interiors and puts off owner-occupant buyers.
If unpaid property tax is part of why you are selling, it is worth understanding the clock. In Arizona the County Assessor sets a Full Cash Value for each parcel annually, and the County Treasurer bills it in two installments. When taxes go unpaid, the Maricopa County Treasurer can sell a tax lien against the property at auction, and those auctions are held in February each year.
A lien does not stop us buying. Back taxes are settled out of the proceeds at closing, through escrow, the same as a mortgage payoff. You do not need to clear them first — in fact you should not try to.
You send the Tempe address. Within about 24 hours we come and walk the property with you — roughly twenty minutes, nothing cleaned or repaired first. By hour 48 you have a written offer showing what we would pay and which costs we cover.
If you accept, escrow can close in as little as seven days, or on a later date if you need time to move. We buy with our own cash, so there is no lender to fall through. Read the full process.
Yes. We buy occupied and we do not require you to evict first. Send us the lease and we will work around it.
Yes, including units in complexes with lending restrictions that block conventional buyers.
More general answers are on our questions page.
Sometimes, honestly, yes. If your Tempe house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing will usually net more. If it needs work, or you are on a deadline, or you cannot face showings, the maths often goes the other way once commissions and repairs come out. We set out both sides of that comparison.
Get our offer first either way — it is free, and it gives you a firm number to measure any listing estimate against. Note that once you sign a listing agreement we can no longer buy the house directly.
